What are the risks of lumbar punch?
Post-lumbar puncture headache. About 1 out of 3 people who have undergone a lumbar puncture develop a headache afterward due to a leak of fluid into nearby tissues. The headache typically starts several hours up to two days after the procedure and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and dizziness. Post-lumbar puncture headaches can last from a few hours to a week or more.Back discomfort or pain. You may feel pain or tenderness in your lower back after the procedure. The pain might radiate down the back of your legs.Bleeding. Serious bleeding can occur if you have a blood-clotting disorder or take blood-thinning or other anticoagulant medications.Brainstem herniation. Increased intracranial pressure, due to a brain tumor or other space-occupying lesion, can lead to compression of the brainstem after a sample of cerebrospinal fluid is removed. A computerized tomography (CT) scan or MRI prior to a lumbar puncture can be obtained, if needed, to determine if there is evidence of increased intracranial pressure.This complication is uncommon.MayoClinic.com

How long will a lumbar puncture headache last?
we have no idea, my newly aged 14 yr old daughter had all flu symptom's but severe neck pain so we did a lumbar puncture last Wednesday, today is monday and her head still hurts. we went back to the er on Thursday and received 2 shots in either arm with morphine for pain as she was now crying hysterically from the pain. it did relieve the pain enough that she was loopy but acting normally. they released her and gave us a prescription for morphine syrup, as she cant take pills. it really helped her catch up on much needed sleep, no blood patch was performed at advice of er doctor. so...here we are with the first day of school looming tomorrow and a headache that keeps her from sitting up, now 6 days later..help....

I am not sure about ?
I am not sure about a headache that will "come and go". However, there is post concussion syndrom(PCS) in which headache and dizziness can start within the first 7-10 days and last as long as 3 months. A good way to tell the difference in headache is to press below the eyes over the sinuses. If there is pain in that region, it is likely sinus headache. If this were my son, I would give him a full day of rest like you did. Then I would let him start to engage in some physical activities for 10 minutes or so, which at 11 years old, I am sure he has already. If he has no dizziness or confusion, and has no headache (other than sinus), I would allow him to participate in the track activities that you described. Now that he has had a concussion, it will be easier for him to get a concussion in the future.
